'My wife has made my life miserable'

Dear Diana, I got married in August 2010. My wife is extremely abusive in nature. She not only abused my dead parents but also my brother who was rather fond of her.

She also forced me to quit my job on allegations that I was having an affair with my colleague. Her dominance in our relationship has led to a point where we are childless because she “is not ready”. Now she doesn’t want my younger brother to stay with us. I had promised my parents that I’ll take care of him. My wife has made life miserable.— Sylvester

Dear Sylvester, I can understand how you feel. Your wife seems hellbent on destroying your peace of mind. You need to feel good in a relationship and have a real connection with someone. In your case it is not happening. You have to decide. But taking a decision is the hardest part. You should trust your feelings and decide for yourself. Talk to your wife about your dilemmas. If she is not willing to give a patient ear and if every day is a struggle, it is best to move on.
